A Summer-long extravaganza for all the family!

Residents throughout Pontypridd will have plenty to enjoy this Summer, with a jam-packed series of fun-filled events and activities for all ages provided by Pontypridd Town Council. 


Building on the success of last year’s Tymor yr Haf - Summer Season, this year’s programme is the Town Council’s biggest and boldest yet with a wide variety of activities, events and entertainment lined up all across Pontypridd from May to August. 


The Tymor yr Haf programme will visit communities across Pontypridd and take place 

in several venues throughout the area including Pontypridd Museum, Meadow Street Community Garden, and the Taff Meadow and Graig community centres. 


Working with the Pontypridd Brass Band Festival team, Tymor yr Haf kicks off with a Festival of Brass in May, with learner workshops, a full programme of both outdoor and indoor concerts, a music themed exhibition, a film night and an opportunity to come and try out a range of brass instruments from the smallest to the largest.


The first ever Tymor yr Haf Roadshow, packed with activities for all the family along with fantastic local entertainment will travel the area during both the May half-term and the school Summer holidays in July and August, visiting communities across Pontypridd. 


Pontypridd Museum’s popular family arts and craft activities return for the school holidays, with free sessions running throughout the Summer. 


During August, Pontypridd Museum, Meadow Street Community Garden, Taff Meadow and Graig community centres are hosting a variety of daytime and evening events, including music and talks, featuring a wealth of well-known Welsh talent and celebrating local artists, musicians, historians and raconteurs with something for everyone to enjoy. 


Councillor Lynda Davies said:


“We’re delighted to announce the return of Tymor yr Haf and to welcome back some Summer family-favourites along with introducing new events across all our locations throughout Pontypridd. From the museum in the town centre, to Meadow Street Community Garden and Taff Meadow and Graig community centres, we have activities and events planned for all the family to enjoy.


‘This Summer’s programme of events will be our most wide-ranging and far-reaching yet. We’re excited to visit so many different communities throughout Pontypridd and to bring some Summer fun along with us. With so many different events and activities, there truly is something for everyone, all summer long! We have a thrilling summer ahead of us.’ 


Event information will be posted on our social media in the coming weeks:

Councillor Carol Morgan was elected Pontypridd Town Mayor on May 22nd 2025 at the Annual General Meeting of Pontypridd Town Council. She succeeds Councillor Desmond Paul, who served as Mayor from 2023. Councillor Morgan represents the Upper Rhydyfelin and Glyntaff ward and is a member of the Welsh Labour group. Councillor Aminur Kabid, who represents the Treforest ward, will serve as Deputy Mayor. Mayor's Statement I feel very honoured and privileged to have been elected to the position of Pontypridd Town Council Mayor for 2025-2026. I was born and brought up in Rhydyfelin Pontypridd. I married in 1968 and moved to England in 1970 due to my husband’s work commitments. On retirement in 2004, I returned to Pontypridd. I was involved with the Rhydyfelin Community Centre for many years and I am still part of the Rhydyfelin community group. My main priorities as Mayor are to serve the community to the best of my ability and to raise as much money as possible for my chosen charities, Velindre Cancer Centre and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. I regard both hospitals as extremely important to the community as a whole, particularly having personal experience of the highly professional care offered to me by the staff at CCU. I look forward to representing Pontypridd over the next 12 months as the town Mayor.
